The ICMmonitor partial discharge (PD) monitoring system consists of a spectrum analyser, an acoustic detector, and a conventional PD monitor. This combination enables you to perform PD measurements even with a lot of background noise e.g., on power transformers within substations or power plants.
The multifunctional ICMmonitor, with its embedded display, convenient trending, and settable alarms, is an ideal solution for the permanent survey of electric devices in industrial and utility applications. Indeed, this monitoring system has been designed for fixed indoor or outdoor installations and is used principally for permanent, continuous on-line monitoring of rotating machines, cable systems, and power transformers.
There are various noise handling techniques to sense and remove noise without losing significant PD data. You can set alarm levels of NQS or Qp that will trigger when the unit exceeds the specific values.
The ICMmonitor also collects and displays PD data over a specified time interval for easy trending and observations of changes in the monitored system.
